I've seen that happen only one time, on quail actually. Pair of setters pointed a small covey and each killed a bird. The two dogs both went out and picked them up. Then, as they were coming back, pointed and backed a late single that didn't get up with the others. Both while holding a dead quail in their mouth.
My friend and I just stood there dumbfounded, I don't think we even shot when the late bird finally got up. I didn't get a picture but I can certainly picture it in my mind like it was yesterday. You're a lucky man to have seen that happen and to have gotten in on film.
